Description

In this Tour we will visit:   - Alberobello, also known as the city of trulli, named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996, an exceptional example of building construction with prehistoric techniques that have survived intact and still function in the modern world. A "Trullo" is a small limestone house, made of dry stone walls, roughly worked limestone boulders collected from nearby fields and topped with a conical roof. Souvenir shops, B&Bs, bars and restaurants will cheer up your stay in Alberobello.   - Matera, hard to believe that less than 70 years ago, around 15,000 people, mostly peasants and farmers, still lived in caves without natural light, ventilation, running water or electricity. Today Matera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has been designated the European Capital of Culture for 2019. The ancient neighbourhoods, known as sassi, are a series of caves carved into the limestone, teetering on the edge of a ravine. You will admire a complex labyrinth of stone walkways and stairs full of local craft shops, cafes and ice cream parlors.
